I like the over in the national championship a lot. Godaddy no clue, but I'm leaning N. Illinois.

I hate betting the under. In fact, if I don't think it will be an over I usually don't bet on the game. Things that make me think it might be under. Previous game score, one month layoff, OC for Bama is splitting time as HC at Col. State, only two teams have scored more than 20 points on LSU, only one team has scored more than 20 on bama. Now watch it be a shootout.

I was wondering if it was worth it for a new thread. I'd like to be able to keep up with everyone's record, but when I went back through this thread, after like 3 pages I was spending more time seeing if the picks were posted before the game, or just to gloat after the win.

I will have picks for week 1 up by Wednesday of next week. Taking 20 hours this semester, working 40 hours a week and trying to have some semblance of a life outside of that will make it hard, but I will give it my best shot.

All of these are leans, not picks. I am also looking at some games because of line movements.

USCe -7 @ VandyTulsa -1 @ Iowa St (this may move to a pick'em or even Tulsa +1)Miami +1 @ BC (this line began at UM -2.5 and moved to BC -1 even with 88% of the bets coming in on UM)Clemson -3 @ AuburnOklahoma -31 @ UTEP (Stoops isn't one for playing nice, they should have this covered by halftime.)

I just don't think, with no QB situated, average at best skill players on both sides of the ball (yes I know about lugenhocker) that Auburn can hang with Clemson. Sammy Watkins is good, but I still think that Clemson offense hums along without him. Tahj Boyd isn't a slouch.

I just plain don't like the Tennessee game. Started out at Tenn -7, and is now Tenn - 3.5 or maybe 4.

I will post some picks next week. Gonna finish my preseason studying this week evaluating some of the west coast squads. Will finish my prep work with a final check on who is suspended where and for how long. For whatever reason it seems like this last weekend before the start a lot of arrests are made. Dunno if that's true it just seems that way.

i like nc state b/c well tenn is just tenn.. nc st at home will be fired up and they have a talented rb also who gets no attention.. Tenn not sure Bray is the answer at qb.. they have problems that need to be addressed and not sure if it will in week 1.. I'm gonna watch the line some more but i'm not touching under a fg..

With Da'Rick out now, it may be a good line to snatch up. I can't believe it's still at Tenn -4. I suppose this one will move now.

Liking the Mich St -7, with the depleted roster of the Broncos, it could be ugly.

Don't like La Tech at all. TAMU is going to try and show that they deserve to be in the SEC so they are going to put on a show. I see TAMU walking away with that one.

WV is just too big of a line to me. if it was under 20, I'd prolly lay a lil bit on it, but at 24 there isn't too much value to me. Not that they can't/wont win by that much, but still.

I see the Aggies having a difficult time moving the ball in the season opener due to a new QB (brand new), new head coach, new offensive schemes, and a great tail back but one returning from a season ending injury the previous year. La. Tech is returning 15+ starters from a team that was very solid last season. Put 'em at home against this A&M squad, can't see them losing by more than 7 if not winning.

this might be a dumb question, but is there anyway we could move this to another forum, one that doesnt have as much activity? It can get lost down the page pretty easily in MMQB..

Also, Will, would you PM me a site as well. I will prob use the one my boss uses, but I'd like to see some other options.
